Michael Vick is doing it again. This bad boy can't help himself. It was the finger salute at the fans earlier in the season and now it is the fake water bottle. Vick reluctantly surrendered a water bottle to security at Miami International Airport that officials said smelled like marijuana and contained a substance in a hidden compartment. He was not arrested and was allowed to board an AirTran flight that landed in Atlanta before noon Wednesday.
Miami police said Thursday it could be weeks before a decision is made on whether to file charges against the three-time Pro Bowler, who this season became the first quarterback in NFL history to rush for 1,000 yards.
"With respect to this particular issue, Coach [Bobby] Petrino and I met with Michael this morning and expressed our displeasure," Rich McKay, Falcons president and general manager, said in a statement Thursday afternoon. "I think Michael is sorry."
The NFL's substance abuse policy states any team can decide that a player's "behavior, including but not limited to an arrest," can warrant a physical exam from its appointed medical director. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said no decision had been made in Vick's case.
"We have a process that provides guidelines for every situation," Aiello said. "Our doctors conduct a lengthy evaluation, if necessary, and then decide if enrollment in a treatment program is necessary."
